* The British Institute of Florence. The Vernon Lee Library.
“After her death in 1935, some 350 books from Vernon Lee’s Library at the Villa ‘Il Palmerino’ were presented to the British Institute of Florence by her friend and executrix, Irene Cooper Willis. These reflect the wide range of Vernon Lee’s interests. ‘The width of her reading in scientific subjects,’ writes her biographer Peter Gunn, ‘and more particularly in the social sciences, is quite astonishing.’ Many of the books bear the dates of reading and re-reading, and are copiously annotated.
All the items in this collection can be found in the online catalogue, either by the classmark (prefixed by ‘VL’) or by the subject heading of ‘Lee, Vernon – former owner’.” (Home page presentation)

The Leon Edel Archive : “ [the Edel transcriptions] contain [unique information] on unpublished letters whose whereabouts are no longer known and on dated or partially dated letters … For an estimated 650-675 letters—letters that perhaps did not survive the Second World War, or letters that emerged from private collections only long enough for Edel to consult them, or letters that continue to circulate privately without leaving a public trail through auction houses—Edel’s files contain the only known records of their existence. Should the originals never surface, then Edel’s papers will be the ultimate source for information on as much as 5% of the James epistolarium” (Jobe HJR 21: 292).
